The Book of Sirach Ch Five v- 14 thru 15

14 Do not be called double-tongued; and with your tongue do not slander a neighbor. For shame has been created for the thief, and sore disgrace for the double-tongued. 15 In little or in much, do not act corruptly.

Shame of a Double Tongue is the title of this song I wrote about speaking slander towards others that you have no idea what their real crime really is or was and how they love now living forgiven to overcome their past. We all want to rush judgement upon others we don’t even know. A patient tongue gives respect that each and every human being deserves where forgiveness in goodwill resonates the beauty of Salvation. Today I think about parents who allow their children to live a lie claiming they are boys when they are girls or girls who are boys willing to maim their own bodies in the name of something called “a fundamental right.” Fantasy seems to be the target of the liars of the world allowing each and every soul to live a lie without judgment or exclusion. Judge not for thou be not judged comes to mind is being played out in a world of make-believe. Enjoy the song and may God bless our lives with His grace of Redemption. Amen.

Shame of a Double Tongue

In a world of whispers, where tongues wag so free,

There's a breed of deceit, they call them thieves of glee,

They parade as friends, but behind your back they scheme,

Oh, the double-tongued slanderers, the masters of extreme.

They spin their tales with venomous delight,

Stealing reputations, hiding in plain sight,

But their thievery won't go unnoticed, no,

For this song will expose their shame, and so we go.

Oh, double-tongued slanderers, your masks will fall,

Your wicked game of thievery, we'll unveil it all,

No more hiding in shadows, no more playing pretend,

Your days of stealing innocence, they'll come to an end.

They weave their webs of lies, so cunning and sly,

Their words like daggers, meant to wound and decry,

But the truth we'll uncover, with every line we sing,

Exposing their true colors, and the shame it will bring.

For the thief who steals with words, there's no honor in that,

Their actions speak louder than the lies they spat,

So let this song be a reminder, a warning to all,

That the thieves of reputations, we be given their call.

Oh, double-tongued slanderers, your masks will fall,

Your wicked game of thievery, we'll unveil it all,

No more hiding in shadows, no more playing pretend,

Your days of stealing innocence, they'll come to an end.

To all those who've suffered, from the tongues so cruel,

Know that you are not alone, we'll break this vicious rule,

Together we'll rise, with voices strong and true,

And the shame of the thieves, we'll turn back onto you.

So let this song be a testament, a beacon in the night,

To the double-tongued slanderers, who thrive on others' plight,

Your days are numbered, your deeds will be known,

For this song will be your legacy, the thief's shame shown. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for a little boy named David Alexander. Praise God thank You Jesus. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

12-22-2023 Sirach 5 v-1415

**Thief creates shame as an hors d'oeuvre**

Tongue doubled be called not for sure

Neighbor slander not by tongue yours

Thief creates shame as an hors d'oeuvre

Tongue doubled disgrace sore abhor

Corruptly act not in much or little ignore
